Kill process of current user only

[JakeLD]

Hi, I am trying to kill a process for the current logged user only. However I noticed that the ProcessClose command is trying to shut down all instances. I have tried the ProcessClose command with the exe name and the PID number and I get the same results. Here is my code so far. Thank you for your help.

Dim $PID1, $PID2

; Hide AutoIt tray icon
AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1)

; Launch Act along with Outlook Service
ShellExecute("D:\Program Files\ACT\Act for Windows\ActSage.exe", "-nosplash")
ShellExecute("D:\Program Files\ACT\Act for Windows\Act.Outlook.Service.exe", @SW_HIDE)

; Kill Act.Outlook.Service.exe when ActSage.exe is closed
$PID1 = ProcessExists("ActSage.exe") ; Will return the PID or 0 if the process isn't found.
$PID2 = ProcessExists("Act.Outlook.Service.exe") ; Will return the PID or 0 if the process isn't found.

If $PID2  Then ProcessWaitClose($PID1)
    ProcessClose($PID2)

Exit

Regards,

Jonathan

Hi,

"current logged user" implies that there are more users logged on the same computer.

depending on how the process interacts between users (ie: multiple instances of the same exe)

If you kill the process - you kill it for all users.

Edit:

I suppose there's a way around it - i'm not sure how though.

My guess - get the User ID and then kill the process under it.

If you kill the process - you kill it for all users.

A process is started by a user or the system. If a the same process is running for two users then really there will be 2 process running, 2 instances of the same program. If you kill one it will not effect the other.

I'm not sure how to do it in AutoIt but I know the with cmd tool taskkill you can specify the user name and PID. You will have to get the current logged in user, this may be the session, tasklist /v may give you this. You have to do some reading up on this.

You can use taskill with the Run() function. Do a tasklist first to see what is running.

@UserName

_Security__LookupAccountName

With WMI: Win32_Process and use GetOwner.

Something like this should work

 

local $strComputer = @ComputerName
; What process to kill
local $strProcessName = "notepad.exe"
local $objWMI = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
local $colProcesses = $objWMI.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = '"& $strProcessName & "'")
local $intCount = $colResults.Count


for $objProcess in $colProcesses
    if $objProcess.GetOwner(@UserName, @LogonDomain) = 0 then
        $objProcess.Terminate()
    endif
next
; Exit script
exit

While 1
If Not ProcessExists("ActSage.exe") Then 
run('cmd /c taskkill /F /FI "USERNAME eq ' & @USERNAME & '"' & ' /IM "Act.Outlook.Service.exe"')
exitloop
EndIf
sleep (50)
Wend

figured the loop should end

You both know you are answering a 5 years+ old topic?

I know this is an old topic but I just wanted to thank @digitalexpl0it, your script worked perfectly for me.

Hm, right, old topic 🙃

 

Anyway:

Dim $PID1, $PID2

; Hide AutoIt tray icon
AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1)

; Launch Act along with Outlook Service
$PID1 = ShellExecute("D:\Program Files\ACT\Act for Windows\ActSage.exe", "-nosplash")
$PID2 = ShellExecute("D:\Program Files\ACT\Act for Windows\Act.Outlook.Service.exe", @SW_HIDE)

While ProcessExists($PID1)
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

ProcessClose($PID2)
